At the 101st Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, the electric Ford SuperVan 4.2 will take part. Based on the 1973-hp SuperVan 4, the 4.2 version of the SuperVan 4 has a big wing and an engine with more than 1400 horsepower that was tuned for the climb. Romain Dumas will drive the SuperVan 4.2 at the event on Sunday, June 25. There are many different sizes and forms of race cars. For instance, a battery-powered van might have more power than five Honda Odysseys. This is how you could describe the Ford SuperVan 4.2, which has more than 1400 horsepower and will participate in this year’s race to the top of Pikes Peak. Changes that have been made to a SuperVan 2017 the Ford Pro Electric SuperVan first appeared at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. It had four motors that together made 1973 horsepower. The SuperVan 4 was made in collaboration with Ford Performance and STARS, an Austrian business that makes electric race and rally cars. It was modified for racing and had a 50 kWh battery in the middle that was cooled by liquid. With the 4.2 updates, the EV van has been improved even more to get to Pikes Peak as soon as possible. The most apparent difference between the SuperVan 4.2 and its predecessor is the enormous rear wing and the new paint job with the updated Ford Performance logo. Sources say that at 150 mph, the lightweight carbon-fibre lip and other aerodynamic features create more than 4,400 pounds of downforce. The van’s engine is the other significant change. The frame has also been made lighter. One of the SuperVan’s four electric motors was removed so the other two could power the vehicle’s back wheels and the front axle. They work together to make more than 1400 hp, and the motors are now powered by a much better regenerative stopping system for the van. Carbon-ceramic front brakes, forged wheels, and Pirelli P Zero race tires are all part of the SuperVan 4.2. Other changes include a windshield made of plexiglass, new driveshafts, and a cabin with only a roll cage and a single race seat. Romain Dumas will drive the Ford SuperVan 4.2. On Sunday, June 25, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb will be held for the 101st time.
